Wil Wheaton to get new role on 'Enterprise'

hisholiness writes "It seems that a major underground letter writing campaign has secured Wil Wheaton (ST:TNG's Wesley Crusher) a recurring role the current 'Enterprise' series. According to his website, he states, "The details are still being worked out, but basically what they plan to do is have Wesley use his Time Traveler abilities to move through space and time to the NX-01. He'll be written more like the dark, troubled Wesley of 'The First Duty' and 'Final Mission', and less like the gee-whiz Wesley of days gone by." He continues that he will be in 8 of 22 new episodes over the next two seasons."

Are people even reading stories anymore?! I'm checking out of here for the day. This has quickly become a huge waste of my time.

[klocwerk]

Agreed.
I think one good post would have been much appreciated. A full day of bullsh|t is just pushing it.
See y'all tomorrow.

Enough already!

You know, you're not obligated to report on every single April Fools' link on the web. Give it up.

AFD = 1 BIG Troll

Think about it, what other day of the year can CmdrTaco troll with such reckless abandon :)

Enjoy it while you can, buddy. The AC's will be back tomorrow in full force.

AT LEAST BE CLEVER....

For one you could have buried a false story in the midst of real ones and have a contest to have readers decide which one is the joke...

You could give away someone's favorite Linux distro on CD or something... ANYTHING BUT THIS!

ITS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!

Look at the episode guide. After the Temporal Cold War, Silik will bring the war to the Enterprise in S1E26. Its clearly the perfect setup for Wil to come back, as a time travler. Next season hasnt been filmed yet, Wil was just offered the role.

rc: Silik

When the Enterprise comes in contact with an alien vessel transporting stargazers to observe a spectacular stellar event, Archer invites them aboard the ship not realizing that Silik, a Suliban enemy, is among them. Archer quickly realizes that Silik is engaged in a nefarious time-travelling mission and must stop him before he can tamper with the course of history.

I don't know about you, but I read /. for the comments to the stories, not the stories themselves.

Read Wil's site. He's pretty cool & honest.

[markstinson]

He's no problem joking about himself and being honest about himself or others. He listen's too cool music, watches cool shows, reads cool books, does he's own website and computer work. The interviews are really frank. Yah, Wil's a Geek like us - in a good way. Even has his Geek code on there in the interview.

Take some time (15-20 min) and read it. It's NOT sameless self promotion and buy all my crap. I laughed really hard about his experience with Hooter's waitress & "Yeah, funny like when you watch another guy get kicked in the nuts."

to all you humor-deprived lame asses

[BattleTroll]

Take one day, get off your nerd-chair and enjoy a little humor. All you that keep bitching about "I come here for real information" need to take a chill. It's 1 day out of the year - get over it.

Being a geek is all well and good, but it's not what makes the world go round. If you were looking for anything remotely usuable, practical, or relevent, you wouldnt be here anyway.
